FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to cosmetic compositions capable offorming a multilayer structure after application to a keratinousmaterial, but which are homogenous in the bulk. Such compositions allowfor benefits associated with multilayer cosmetic products without havingto engage in a multi-step application process.

DISCUSSION OF THE BACKGROUND

Many cosmetic compositions, including pigmented cosmetics such asfoundations and lipsticks, have been formulated in an attempt to possesslong wearing properties upon application. Unfortunately, many of thesecompositions do not generally possess both goodlong-wear/transfer-resistance properties as well as good applicationproperties, good comfort properties and/or good appearance properties(for example, shine, gloss or matte properties).

For example, with respect to lip products, commercial productscontaining silicon resins such as MQ resins may provide good long wearproperties and/or transfer-resistance. However, such products canpossess poor application properties, poor feel upon application (forexample, feel rough) and poor shine or gloss properties owing to thefilm formed by the MQ resin (for example, a matte appearance).Therefore, a second composition (topcoat) is separately applied to suchproducts to improve poor properties of the compositions to make theproducts acceptable to consumers. Furthermore, the topcoat compositionmust be reapplied continually so that the product remains acceptable toconsumers, meaning that the products are effectively not “long-wearing”as they require constant maintenance and reapplication.

Also, with respect to foundations, such products can provide good longwear properties and/or transfer-resistance. However, suchlong-wearing/transfer-resistant products can possess poor applicationand/or feel upon properties application, as well as poor matteproperties.

Thus, there remains a need for improved “single step” cosmeticcompositions having improved cosmetic properties, particularly goodwear, feel, shine, gloss and/or matte characteristics upon application.

It is to be understood that both the foregoing general description andthe following detailed description are exemplary and explanatory only,and are not restrictive of the invention.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

As used herein, the expression “at least one” means one or more and thusincludes individual components as well as mixtures/combinations.

Other than in the operating examples, or where otherwise indicated, allnumbers expressing quantities of ingredients and/or reaction conditionsare to be understood as being modified in all instances by the term“about,” meaning within 10% to 15% of the indicated number.

“Film former” or “film forming agent” as used herein means a polymer orresin that leaves a film on the substrate to which it is applied.

“Polymer” as used herein means a compound which is made up of at leasttwo monomers.

“Substituted” as used herein, means comprising at least one substituent.Non-limiting examples of substituents include atoms, such as oxygenatoms and nitrogen atoms, as well as functional groups, such as hydroxylgroups, ether groups, alkoxy groups, acyloxyalky groups, oxyalkylenegroups, polyoxyalkylene groups, carboxylic acid groups, amine groups,acylamino groups, amide groups, halogen containing groups, ester groups,thiol groups, sulphonate groups, thiosulphate groups, siloxane groups,hydroxyalkyl groups, and polysiloxane groups. The substituent(s) may befurther substituted.

“Volatile”, as used herein, means having a flash point of less thanabout 100° C.

“Non-volatile”, as used herein, means having a flash point of greaterthan about 100° C.

“Anhydrous” means the compositions contain less than 1% water.Preferably, the compositions of the present invention contain less than0.5% water, and most preferably no water.

“Transfer resistance” as used herein refers to the quality exhibited bycompositions that are not readily removed by contact with anothermaterial, such as, for example, a glass, an item of clothing or theskin, for example, when eating or drinking. Transfer resistance may beevaluated by any method known in the art for evaluating such. Forexample, transfer resistance of a composition may be evaluated by a“kiss” test. The “kiss” test may involve application of the compositionto human keratin material such as hair, skin or lips followed by rubbinga material, for example, a sheet of paper, against the hair, skin orlips after expiration of a certain amount of time following application,such as 15 minutes or greater after application. Similarly, transferresistance of a composition may be evaluated by the amount of producttransferred from a wearer to any other substrate, such as transfer fromthe hair, skin or lips of an individual to a collar when putting onclothing after the expiration of a certain amount of time followingapplication of the composition to the hair, skin, lips or other modelssuch as bioskin and tissue. The amount of composition transferred to thesubstrate (e.g., collar, or paper) may then be evaluated and compared.For example, a composition may be transfer resistant if a majority ofthe product is left on the wearer's hair, skin or lips. Further, theamount transferred may be compared with that transferred by othercompositions, such as commercially available compositions. In apreferred embodiment of the present invention, little or no compositionis transferred to the substrate from the hair, skin or lips.

“Adhesion” as used herein refers to the quality exhibited bycompositions that adhere to a substrate after application. Adhesion maybe evaluated by any method known in the art for evaluating such. Forexample, samples to be tested for adhesion properties can be depositedonto a surface such as a bioskin substrate. After drying, a piece ofASTM cross hatch tape can be placed on the sample, and removed at a 180°angle. Then, it can be determined how much of the sample is adhered tothe tape. For example, a rating scale such as a scale of 1-3 can be usedto assess the degree of sample removal from the substrate onto the tape,in which 1 is essentially no removal, 2 is some removal, and 3 isessentially complete removal.

The term rub-off resistance as used herein refers to physical abrasionsuch as rubbing the human skin with the hands or clothes or otherphysical interaction. It can also be described as the ability to holdactive ingredients on the skin or prevent the removal of activeingredients from the skin by abrasion or other physical interaction.

“Long wear” compositions as used herein, refers to compositions wherecolor remains the same or substantially the same as at the time ofapplication, as viewed by the naked eye, after an extended period oftime. Long wear properties may be evaluated by any method known in theart for evaluating such properties. For example, long wear may beevaluated by a test involving the application of a composition to theskin and evaluating the color of the composition after an extendedperiod of time. For example, the color of a composition may be evaluatedimmediately following application to skin and these characteristics maythen be re-evaluated and compared after a certain amount of time.Further, these characteristics may be evaluated with respect to othercompositions, such as commercially available compositions. Alternativelyor additionally, long wear properties may be evaluated by applying asample, allowing it to dry, and then abrading the sample to determineremoval/loss of sample.

Compositions Capable of Forming a Multilayer Structure which areHomogenous in the Bulk

In accordance with various embodiments of the present invention,cosmetic compositions capable of forming a multilayer structure afterapplication to a keratinous material but which are homogenous in thebulk are provided. Such compositions allow for benefits associated withmultilayer cosmetic products without having to engage in a multi-stepapplication process or mix the composition prior to application. In oneor more embodiments, such compositions are suitable cosmetic purposes.

As used herein, the phrase “homogenous in the bulk” refers tocompositions which do not exhibit phase separation for a given period oftime to the naked eye prior to application to a keratinous surface. Inone or more embodiments, the composition is homogenous in the bulk forat least a specified time period of up to 24 hours are ambientconditions.

In one or more embodiments, phase separation is assessed according tothe following protocol: (1) mixing a composition using a high speedmixer at a rate of 2750 RPM and for a minimum of 2 minutes; (2)immediately following mixing, the samples are visually assessed forphase separation and then allowed to sit at ambient temperatures for aminimum of 24 hours; (3) at the 24 hour mark the samples are againvisually assessed for phase separation. In further embodiments, theprotocol also involves (4) slightly mixing the sample by hand to see ifphase separation occurs. In some instances a sample is deemed phaseseparated if upon additional mixing of non-pigmented versions the samplebecomes cloudy. Another case in which a sample is deemed phase separatedis if upon initial mixing there is a thicker layer on top of a thinnerformula layer or the inverse. Samples are deemed homogenous if thesample did not appear to be visually phase separated, there is no changein opacity visually upon mixing, and there is no clear difference inphases upon mixing.

In accordance with one or more embodiments of the present invention, thecosmetic compositions of the present invention comprise at least twoComponents, hereinafter referred to as “Component A” and “Component B.”In one or more embodiments, both Component A and Component B comprisesilicone. Component A, for example, may comprise a silicone-containingfilm-forming agent. Component B, for example, may comprise a siliconegum. In some embodiments, Component A comprises a hydrocarbon filmforming agent, and Component B comprises a silicone compound. Again,Component B, for example, may comprise a silicone gum. In one or moreembodiments, Component A may comprise both a silicone-containing filmforming agent as well as a hydrocarbon-containing film forming agent.

Component A is the component of the compositions of the presentinvention which forms the layer of the multilayer structure which isclosest to the keratinous material after application of the compositionto the keratinous material. This layer of the multilayer structure ishereinafter referred to as “Layer A.” In accordance with preferredembodiments, Component A/Layer A has an affinity for the surface of thekeratinous material owing to the surface energy characteristics betweenthe two.

Component B is the component of the compositions of the presentinvention which forms the layer of the multilayer structure which isfarthest away from the keratinous material after application of thecomposition to the keratinous material. This layer of the multilayerstructure is hereinafter referred to as “Layer B.” In accordance withpreferred embodiments, Component B/Layer B has an affinity for the airinterface.

The composition of the present invention may be in any form, eitherliquid or non-liquid (semi-solid, soft solid, solid, etc.). For example,it may be a paste, a solid, a gel, or a cream. It may be an emulsion,such as an oil-in-water or water-in-oil emulsion, a multiple emulsion,such as an oil-in-water-in-oil emulsion or a water-in-oil-in-wateremulsion, or a solid, rigid or supple gel. The composition of theinvention may, for example, comprise an external or continuous fattyphase. The composition can also be a molded composition or cast as astick or a dish.

The cosmetic compositions and methods of the present invention cancomprise, consist of, or consist essentially of the essential elementsand limitations of the invention described herein, as well as anyadditional or optional ingredients, components, or limitations describedherein or otherwise useful in personal care.

In accordance with the present invention, all weight amounts and ratiosset forth herein referring to Component A and Component B refer toamounts of active material (that is, non-volatile material) in thesecomponents. Similarly, all weight amounts and ratios set forth hereinreferring to Layer A and Layer B refer to amounts of active material asLayer A and Layer B are present after evaporation of volatile solvent.

Prior to application to a keratinous material, Component A and ComponentB are homogenous in the bulk compositions of the present invention. Thatis, it has surprisingly been discovered that certain viscosities,amounts and ratios of components which are usually immiscible can beselected such that the components are homogenous in the bulk.Nevertheless, once applied to a keratinous surface, the components willphase separate due to an incompatibility of the components. Suchhomogeneity of the bulk composition is advantageous because no mixingstep is required prior to application, but a two-phase effect is stillachieved. A two-phase effect would otherwise require either two steps ofapplications or a mixing step of a phase separated composition prior toapplication of the composition.

Immiscibility of the immiscible components when the composition is beingapplied can result from, for example, chemical/structuralincompatibility, differences in the interfacial tension between thecomponents, differences in density of the components after solventevaporation, and/or differences induced by temperature and/or pressure.

After the composition of the present invention has been applied to akeratinous material, Component A separates from Component B. As thecomposition dries on the keratinous material to which it has beenapplied, Component A and Component B form a multilayer structurecomprising Layer A and Layer B, respectively, on the keratinous materialsuch as, for example:

LAYER B LAYER A KERATINOUS MATERIAL

According to one or more embodiments of the present invention, aftercompositions of the present invention have been applied to a keratinousmaterial, Component B results in Layer B which is level: that is, LayerB is planar such that it may have refractive properties to impart shineor gloss to the composition. In accordance with these embodiments,Component B has self-leveling properties: it results in a level Layer Bafter application. The gloss or shine of such compositions can beenhanced, if desired, by addition of one or more shine or glossenhancing agents having high refractive index properties. Alternatively,such compositions can be provided with matte properties by addition ofone or more mattifying agents.

According to one or more embodiments of the present invention, aftercompositions of the present invention have been applied to a keratinousmaterial, Component B results in Layer B which is not-level: that is,Layer B is not planar such that it imparts matte properties to thecomposition. In accordance with these embodiments, Component B does nothave self-leveling properties: it results in a non-level Layer B afterapplication. The matte properties of such compositions can be enhanced,if desired, by addition of one or more mattifying agents. Alternatively,such compositions can be provided with shine or gloss properties byaddition of one or more shine or gloss enhancing agents having highrefractive index properties.

In accordance with one or more embodiments of the present invention, themultilayer structure comprises Layer A and Layer B after application toa keratinous material. In certain instances, depending on factors suchas ingredient ratios, ingredient concentrations, solvent evaporationcharacteristics, and Tg of polymers, the layers might be intermixedslightly with each other after application to a keratinous material,resulting in Layer A having a larger amount of A and a smaller amount ofB greater and/or Layer B having a larger amount of B and a smalleramount of A. In some embodiments, after application to a keratinousmaterial, Layer A comprises 40% or less of Layer B, preferably 30% orless of Layer B, preferably 20% or less of Layer B, preferably 10% orless of Layer B, and preferably 5% or less of Layer B, including allranges and subranges therebetween. Similarly, in one or moreembodiments, after application to a keratinous material, Layer Bcomprises 40% or less of Layer A, preferably 30% or less of Layer A,preferably 20% or less of Layer A, preferably 10% or less of Layer B,and preferably 5% or less of Layer A, including all ranges and subrangestherebetween.

Factors affecting the separation of Component A and Component B afterapplication to a keratinous material can include, for example, thoseproperties discussed above including but not limited to the surfaceenergy of the substrate, the density of each Component, the evaporationproperties of the solvent(s), the Tg of the film formers, and/or theviscosity of the film formers.

Although not wishing to be bound by any particular theory, it isbelieved that Component A has a surface energy properties closer to thesurface energy properties of the keratinous material to which it isapplied than Component B. For example, the surface energy of skin isestimated to be 36 mN/m. Accordingly, where Component A has a surfaceenergy of about 36 mN/m or below and have similar polarity as skin, itis believed that Component A can migrate to the skin. Component B wouldpreferably have a lower surface energy and/or is more lipophobic andhydrophobic than A, making it more likely that it would migrate towardthe air interface.

Although not wishing to be bound by any particular theory, it isbelieved that interfacial tension of Components A and B affects phaseseparation (in particular, the rate at which the Components A and Bseparate after application). It is believed that such phase separationcan be affected by differences such as those discussed above such as,for example, differences in temperature of the Components A and B, inthe Tg of the Components A and B (the higher the Tg of a component, thelonger it will take for phase separation), in the weight fraction of thefilm formers, and/or in the pressure of the Components A and B.

Such differences will also be discussed further below.

According to some embodiments, Component A and/or Component B comprisesat least one silicone- and/or hydrocarbon-containing film forming agenthaving at least one glass transition temperature lower than 60° C.,preferably lower than 55° C., preferably lower than 50° C., andpreferably lower than normal human body temperature (98.6° F. or 37°C.). Preferably, Component A and/or Component B comprises at least onesilicone- and/or hydrocarbon-containing film forming agent which has allof its glass transition temperature(s) below human body temperature(98.6° F. or 37° C.). A plasticizer can be added to adjust Tg of thefilm forming agent(s) as is known in the art. According to preferredembodiments, Layer A and Layer B both comprise at least one formingagent having a glass transition temperature of less than 37° C.

A preferred method of determining Tg is to remove all volatile solventfrom the Layer, and determining Tg by Differential Scanning Calorimetry.

Density

According to preferred embodiments, Component A and Component B havedifferent density properties, and the difference is such that ComponentA and Component B are immiscible in the compositions of the presentinvention. Preferably, Component A/Layer A and Component B/Layer B havea density difference of 0.001-1 kg/m3, preferably 0.005-0.8 kg/m3, andpreferably 0.01-0.6 kg/m3.

Temperature

According to preferred embodiments, Component A and Component B areaffected by temperature, and the effect is such that Component A andComponent B are immiscible in the compositions of the present inventionat temperatures below 50° C. for a predetermined amount of time as isknown in the art unlike emulsions which are considered to be stableunder such conditions.

Ingredients

Component A and Component B can differ in various ways based primarilyon the different functionalities associated with Layer A and Layer B.For example, where Layer A performs a transfer-resistance or adherencefunction, ingredients of Component A can be chosen to effecttransfer-resistance or adherence. Similarly, where Layer A performs acolor-enhancing function, at least one coloring agent can be added toComponent A. And, for example, where Layer B performs a gloss- orshine-enhancing function and/or and provides a better feel (for example,affords a more comfortable feeling) and/or provides a barrier layer toinhibit color transfer, ingredients of Component B can be chosen toeffect gloss, shine, comfort and/or barrier layer properties. However,it should be understood that at the interface of Layer A and Layer B,the interface of Layer A may possess properties more associated withLayer B (for example, shine) while Layer B may possess properties moreassociated with Layer A (for example, adhesion).

According to preferred embodiments, Component A comprises at least onesilicone- and/or hydrocarbon-containing film forming agent, at least onecoloring agent, or both, and Layer A provides adhesion,transfer-resistance and/or color properties to the multilayer structure.According to such embodiments, Component B may comprise at least oneshine-enhancing agent, at least one comfort agent and/or at least onebarrier agent, and Layer B provides shine, comfort and/or a barrierproperties to the multilayer structure.

According to preferred embodiments, the compositions of the presentinvention contain less than 0.5% wax and/or less than 0.5% fluorinatedcompound.

According to preferred embodiments, the compositions of the presentinvention contain no wax and/or no fluorinated compound.

According to preferred embodiments, at least one of the same solvent(s)is used in Component A and Component B. Preferably, of total solventpresent in each Component, the majority in each Component is the same.

According to one or more embodiments, there is an excess of Component Bcompared to Component A. In some embodiments, the weight ratio ofComponent A to Component B is from about 1:1.15 to about 1:100, or about1.15 to about 1:50, or 1.15 to about 1:30, including all ranges andsubranges therebetween.

Silicone-Containing Film Forming Agent (Film Former)

Compositions of the present invention may comprise at least onesilicone-containing film forming agent. As used herein,“silicone-containing film forming agent” refers to a film forming agentthat contains silicone. In one or more embodiments, “silicone-containingfilm forming agent” includes polymers that contain at least about 2.5%,5%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 95%, or 99% silicone byweight.

Silicone Resin

As used herein, the term “resin” means a crosslinked or non-crosslinkedthree-dimensional structure. According to one or more embodiments of thepresent invention, Component A comprises at least one silicone acrylate.Silicone resin nomenclature is known in the art as “MDTQ” nomenclature,whereby a silicone resin is described according to the various monomericsiloxane units which make up the polymer.

Each letter of “MDTQ” denotes a different type of unit. The letter Mdenotes the monofunctional unit (CH3)3SiO1/2. This unit is considered tobe monofunctional because the silicone atom only shares on oxygen whenthe unit is part of a polymer. The “M” unit can be represented by thefollowing structure:

At least one of the methyl groups of the M unit may be replaced byanother group, e.g., to give a unit with formula [R(CH3)2]SiO1/2, asrepresented in the following structure:

wherein R is chosen from groups other than methyl groups. Non-limitingexamples of such groups other than methyl groups include alkyl groupsother than methyl groups, alkene groups, alkyne groups, hydroxyl groups,thiol groups, ester groups, acid groups, ether groups, wherein thegroups other than methyl groups may be further substituted.

The symbol D denotes the difunctional unit (CH3)2SiO2/2 wherein twooxygen atoms bonded to the silicone atom are used for binding to therest of the polymer. The “D” unit, which is the major building block ofdimethicone oils, can be represented as:

At least one of the methyl groups of the D unit may be replaced byanother group, e.g., to give a unit with formula [R(CH3)2]SiO1/2.

The symbol T denotes the trifunctional unit, (CH3)SiO3/2 and can berepresented as:

At least one of the methyl groups of the T unit may be replaced byanother group, e.g., to give a unit with formula [R(CH3)2]SiO1/2.

Finally, the letter Q means a tetrafunctional unit SiO4/2 in which thesilicon atom is bonded to four hydrogen atoms, which are themselvesbonded to the rest of the polymer.

Thus, a vast number of different silicone polymers can be manufactured.Further, it would be clear to one skilled in the art that the propertiesof each of the potential silicone polymers will vary depending on thetype(s) of monomer(s), the type(s) of substitution(s), the size of thepolymeric chain, the degree of cross linking, and size of any sidechain(s).

Non-limiting examples of silicone polymers include siloxysilicates andsilsesquioxanes.

(i.e., T Units) wherein x may, for example, have a value of up toseveral thousand.

Resin MQ, which is available from Wacker, General Electric and DowCorning, is an example of an acceptable commercially-availablesiloxysilicate. For example, trimethylsiloxysilicate (TMS) iscommercially available from General Electric under the tradename SR1000and from Wacker under the tradename TMS 803.

Where the silicone resin contains at least one T unit, it may thus be,for example, a T, MT, MTQ or MDTQ resin.

According to preferred embodiments, the unit composition of the siliconeresin can be at least 50% T units, or at least 70% T units, or at least80% T units, or at least 90% T units.

In embodiments pertaining to MQ resin, the MQ resin may already have aTg lower than normal human body temperature. If not, the film formingagent(s) may be combined with one or more plasticizer(s) to achieve a Tglower than normal human body temperature.

EXAMPLES Examples 1-5

Sample Preparation: Comparatives 1-2 and 4-5, and Inventive 3 wereprepared using a high speed mixer with the ingredients in the amountsshown in Table 3 below. To a high speed mixer cup, all polymers wereadded. The sample was mixed at 2500-3500 RPM until homogenous. Thesamples typically were opaque and not clear, and homogeneity wasdeciphered by the sample smoothness. To the freshly mixed sample,pigments, pigments dispersions, and any other particles were added inaddition to the QS solvent. The sample was additionally mixed at2500-3500 RPM until homogenous.

Comparative 1 is considered to be comparative because it containsfilm-forming agent, but no silicone compound. Similarly, Comparative 2is considered to be comparative because it contains a silicone compound,but no film-forming agent. Comparatives 4 and 5 are considered to becomparative because they contain an excess of film-forming agentcompared to silicone compound.

Self-Leveling Test:

Samples were evaluated for their dried film properties. Samples werecasted onto a BYK Opacity Chart (#2812) using a 3 mil wet drawdown barat room temperature. Samples were allowed to dry for a minimum of 5hours. After drying, samples were visually and manually evaluated forphase separation and self-leveling properties. In order to assess thephase separation, films were agitated with a gloved index finger bylightly rubbing one stroke across the sample interface. If samples couldbe roughened it was documented and they were further assessed forrecovery of the film by self-leveling. Samples were allowed to rest fora minimum of a 24 hour period and then visually reassessed for interfacequality and if there was any level of recovery. Images were alsocaptured of the samples prior to roughening, at initial roughening, andat 24 hours after roughening. After the 24 hour period, it wasdocumented if the sample showed signs of recovery or not.

Bulk Phase Separation Assessment

Formulas are mixed using a high speed mixer at a rate of 2750 RPM andfor a minimum of 2 minutes. Immediately following mixing the samples arevisually assessed for phase separation and then allowed to sit atambient temperatures for a minimum of 24 hours. At the 24 hour mark thesamples we again visually assessed for phase separation. In addition,the sample was slightly mixed by hand to see if phase separationoccurred. A sample is deemed phase separated if upon additional mixingof non-pigmented versions the sample because cloudy. Another case inwhich a sample is deemed phase separated is if upon initial mixing,there is a thicker layer on top of a thinner formula layer or theinverse. Samples were deemed homogenous if the sample did not appear tobe visually phase separated, there was no change in opacity visuallyupon mixing, and there was no clear difference in phases upon mixing. Ifthe bulk appeared phase separated the sample was noted with PS and ifthe sample appeared homogenous it was noted with an H.

Olive Oil Contact Angle:

To a BYK Polypropylene Abrasion card a 3 mil wet drawdown bar was usedto cast a film. Films were allowed to dry for at least 12 hours prior tomeasurements. All contact angle measurements were captured using atensiometer. A 2-3 microliter olive oil sessile drop was placed onto thecasted films, and mean contact angle values were captured after tenseconds. For each sample a minimum of three contact angle values weretaken, and an average is depicted in Table 3 below.

As seen from Table 3 above, Comparative sample 1, 2, and Inventivesample 3 were all homogenous after 24 hours resting period. Comparativesample 4 and 5 were both phase separated after 24 hours resting period.This demonstrates that not all ratios of Component A:Component B willresult in a homogenous bulk. The olive oil contact angles forComparative 1 was significantly lower than that of all the other sampleswhile the contact angle of Comparative 2 was in the 60's as well as allother examples. Because the contact angles in Inventive example 3, andComparatives 4 and 5 were in the 60's, this demonstrates that theportion of the film that is closest to the droplet (and to the airinterface) is similar to that of Comparative 2. That is, these resultsshow that there is phase separation after film formation.

Sample Preparation: Inventive 6 was prepared as described above forExamples 1-5 using the ingredients and amounts shown in Table 4 below.Comparative 6 is a commercially available product

Transfer-Resistance: Kiss Test

Samples were tested for their resistance to transfer of color. Thesamples were respectively applied by a subject and allowed to dry for 15minutes. Following the 15 minute dry time, each subject kissed a slab ofbioskin and an image was captured to assess level of transfer. For fulltransfer, a score was given of 3, while somewhat transfer was given ascore of 2, and little to no transfer was given a score of 1.

Gloss Testing Samples were evaluated for their gloss value using a glossmeter. Sample films were prepared by using a 3 mil wet drawdown bar todeposit a film onto BYK Opacity Chart (#2812). Films were allowed to dryfor a minimum of 1 hour and then were evaluated for their gloss valuesusing a BYK Micro-TRI-Gloss meter. From the values captured, the 60degree value was reported. A value of less than 10 GU was considered tobe low gloss; a value of 10-69 GU was considered to be medium gloss; anda value of 70 GU or greater was considered to be high gloss.
